Have you ever wanted the quick development cycle of local code while still having your code run within a remote Kubernetes cluster? Telepresence allows you to develop locally, running your code on your machine, while still making your code appear as if it is running in Kubernetes.

That includes transparent access to the remote network, environment variables that match the remote Pod, and even access to Kubernetes volumes

A friend once told me that his university has an HTTP(S)-only proxy, and thus he is unable to SSH to hosts outside. 5 hours of intensive coding later using code borrowed from my course assignment, here’s HOP.

HOP is a tool meant to tunnel any sort of traffic over a standard HTTP channel.
